I LOVED that move! And Jayne is just the man-ape-gone-wrong-thing to do it.
Clearly you are able to suspend your disbelief to a level I can only dream of. I can accept psychic assassins, vampires, zombies, star trek, laser guns that fire slow moving beams of light, Godzilla, and many other things.
A normal human doing that in an unchoreographed fight, that I don’t believe. Jayne is a box dropping man ape gone wrong, not a genetically enchanted fighting machine capable of doing the calculus to figure that move out in under a second.
Plus it’s stupid, even if he could calculate the center of gravity, eyeball the velocity, figure out exactly where to put his hands and how roughly to use them the chance of knocking himself out with the feet is too much for an experienced fighter to risk.
Jayne is most definitely an experienced fighter.

My problem with the trailer, ultimately (besides that I hate that it must cater to the masses who like explody things, and it cant show character depth in 2 minutes) is what people were saying about how Serenity aint Firefly...
This always worried me, that, in theory, when you take Firefly to an epic scale, it ain't firefly anymore in some ways... I believe joss said on the DVDs that F*X wanted larger than life when the point of the show was sort of actual size. Can actual size be done in a movie? It definitly bothers me.
The series was about life. That's what I love about it. It wasn't that these people were epic adventurers, nor 'the master of all situations', they were just people, who had to do some tough things to stay alive, to keep flying. And that doesn't translate to a movie. So, it'll still be a great movie, but I can only hope it will be a great Firefly movie.
This makes me miss the series so much. :*(

I think the movie is going to be what happens when those two things collide, when people who are not heroes (in the save the world sense) are faced with enemies that really should require heroes.
Every day people in a larger than life situation, should be interesting. Generally you only see that in a true story, and even then it doesn’t usually seem realistic. We just have to have a bit of faith.

The trailer didn’t have the feeling I expected. It seemed to be a little too concentrated on River.....the story isn’t about her. She is ancillary to the story. Firefly is about Mal, his crew and the ship struggling to stay afloat
I'm with you Finn.
